NXP Semiconductors N.V. has expanded its radar ecosystem with an automotive radar solution that combines its S32R processors, RF transceiver, and antenna design on a new reference platform. Created through a partnership with ColoradoEngineering, this new radar solution is designed to accelerate the development and deployment of radar into production vehicles and includes a full ecosystem of tools that aim to lower development costs and spur radar application adoption worldwide. Featuring the S32R27 processor, TEF810x CMOS transceiver, and FS8410 Power management IC, the system is designed to help customers accelerate time to market by lowering the barriers of entry to radar application development with hardware, software, and tools that ease radar implementations. The new RDK-S32R274 radar solution is targeted to help developers rapidly prototype high-performance automotive radar using NXP technology. The reportedly open and flexible development platform includes a radar software development kit that provides a radar algorithm library to quickly build and optimize applications without having to invest resources to hand tune accelerator software. Expansion and antenna modules can be optimized to create a customized development platform suited to specific customer application requirements.

The global automotive industry – worth $3.5 trillion in annual revenues – faces four concurrent disruptive threats: the connected car, the electric vehicle, autonomous driving technology and the concept of transport-as-a-service. Each threat is potentially existential to legacy carmakers who operate in a low growth, low margin sector that rattles with over capacity, and which is seeing its supply lines reset by cumulative advances in enabling technologies typically deployed by Tier-1 automobile sub-system suppliers. This report focuses on autonomous driving technology.

This issue focuses on the end-to-end transformation of dSPACE, external HMI for pedestrian safety, the latest in over-the-air software updates, Urban Air Mobility commercialization efforts, and our special feature on new mobility and the COVID-19 pandemic.
